October 1859
" There is a large room in the yard,
which is opened almost every night, and is the resort of
some of the greatest blackguards in the town, both male and
female, which has become an intolerable nuisance to all
persons living in the neighbourhood, and it is much hoped,
should fines prove ineffectual in suppressing it, some more
strenuous measures will be resorted to." |

On 12th
September 1868, Mr. Benjamin Thomas Birch complained that,
7th September was not the first time that Thomas Grimes had
been proved of misconduct, only to be dismissed on payment
of costs.
Mr. Birch affirmed that on Sunday 6th September, the
pavement near the Bull was polluted with vomit, the
door-stall, shutters and frames foul with urine and
abomination. With one exception, every householder, from the
top of Norfolk Street, to the corners of the Tuesday market
place, had signed a memorial, praying for more strict
carrying out of the law, on disorderly houses, especially
the Bull........... |

The BULL
in 1450
As the BLACK BULL 1777 &
1791
Address as 68 High street in 1836 but as number 66 in 1851 census.
On Wednesday 16th March 1859 Robert Hensby sued Mr. Butcher for the sum
of 7s 9d, incurred for beer and tobacco. Since no books had been kept to
show the account, the Judge deemed the claim nonsuited.
On Monday 4th April 1859, Robert Hensby attempted, for a second time, to
recover the sum of 7s 9d from Christopher Butcher, a debt contracted for
beer. At his first application it had been heard that he had been warned
by Butcher's wife not to trust him and was so nonsuited.
His Honour remained unconvinced that the original judgement was wrong
and again nonsuited the plaintiff.
The EARL
OF DERBY by 1870.
